I guess I will never again share links to YouTube videos from within the app. "Got it" is intolerable as the only option for new privacy-eroding features.

If you set off residential artillery, you are a selfish asshole.

If you detonate big, illegal fireworks in a residential neighborhood in the middle of the day the day before Independence Day, you are an asshole.

You’re also an asshole if you do it at night.

You’re also an asshole if you do it *on* Independence Day.

Basically, fuck off with your fireworks.

I also suspect that it's his bravery that got him the nose scar in the first place. The chipmunk that gets the peanuts is also the chipmunk that gets into trouble.

I don't think it bothers him at all. It's healing nicely.

I've been assuming that one of them is the brave one and the other is more reserved, but it's hard to tell with friends so very tiny. Today I noticed that the more sociable chipmunk has a chunk taken out of his snout.

There are two adolescent chipmunks who spend time at the feeder area.

Never heard someone describe their workplace as "hunger games" until recently. What a messed up system.

The relief of being in a no-drama small startup, where the only thing in abundance is work.

This month's newsletter, on the game - you might have to play it, but you don't have to believe it, and some thoughts on how not to lose yourself in the process 👩🏻‍💻

I have a week to spend in Stockholm in October. Now to figure out where to go for dinner...

America now has all of the downsides of socialism, incompetent government meddling in our personal lives and businesses, with none of the benefits like a social safety net or affordable housing, education & healthcare for all.

The chipmunks are too small to get up to the water in the bird bath, so I put out a tray of cold water nearby, and am going out every few hours to refill both with cold water from the hose.

Translation for people that didn't take divinity classes when they were younger:

By "traditionalist" they mean "pro-fascist." As in, the super racist part of the Catholic Church whose founder actually helped nazis round up Jews in Lyon for the Holocaust, and who was mad when France was liberated.

As recently as a few years ago, their bishops were still denying the Holocaust publicly, and making super racist comments about muslims entering France.

The Pope says "You can't just make new bishops yourself! We need to filter out your worst ones! The pope approves bishops!"

They kept doing it.

So the Pope said, "Fine. You can keep doing that, but now you're not Catholic anymore.*"

(*Technically still Catholic, but excommunicated)

The Elon Musk business turducken continues to grow. He’s hid the failing Twitter/X business in xAI, bundled the unprofitable xAI into SpaceX and now it looks like the next step is to shove SpaceX and Tesla together into a super meme stock.

Really annoyed my 401(K) will have this nonsense in it.

Best Mandalorian fan art so far.

In my experience, the technical teams that move forward rapidly right now aren't asking "do we have the right people?" but rather "have we built conditions where people can show us what they can do? Where people can be their best selves?"

In The Psychology of Software Teams, I unpack empirical evidence behind why and how all of this works; you can get your copy now! 🚀
